THE ENGLISH PATIENT SIENA PROVINCE , ITALY Fans of this 1996 Oscar-winning film often note the beautiful Tuscany vistas and architecture, where Juliette Binoche listened to Ralph Fiennes’ tale of tragic love. Honeymooners wishing to recreate that beauty, without the tragedy, can spend their vacation at Sant’Anna in Camprena monastery, which sits on the hills of Tuscany in the province of Siena. This monastery has gardens, a cycle of frescos painted in the 16th century by Antonio Bazzi (nicknamed Sodoma) and accommodations ranging from austere to luxurious. The monastery grows its own food, which appears on its traditional Tuscan menu, and of course there’s a wide variety of wines. PRO TIP: These are just a few examples of cinema-inspired honeymoons our agency can help you create. It’s fun to see how far your imagination can take you in finding that perfect vacation with your newly wedded partner. There are limits of course: Wakanda is still off the map.
